First off, I'd like to say thank you to everyone in this forum, it has been a veritible plethora of knowledge and reference, without which I know my helmet would not have have turned out near as good, or gone so smoothly, so thank you!

Now, onto what you all wanna see, the bucket! It's a kit from sgb I got from ebay, I'm sure you know all the details of it. I had a friend of mine do the fiberglass work, since I really don't like fiberglass, and he does, not to mention he does damn good work on it too! So here's the helmet as he recieved ithttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...sall/boba1.jpg

Not seen, is the interior, I lined it with a black pleather/vinyl and added some padding, an old unused set from a Cooper hockey helmet. The few things left to do, is get the T visor, ordered it from ebay, the smoked acrylic for ROTJ, and I definitely plan to get a set of the interior pieces from Marrow Sun when they go back up for sale! And to finish off the stand, cover the wood dowel with a sleeve of some sort, when I figure out what to use. But other then that, pretty well finished! I would love to hear any comments, and will of course update this thread as I finish things off!

Thanks a lot guys! All that means a lot comming from the Fett experts! Thanks for the welcome too.
I always like seeing the progress of a piece, so when I do something up I usually do some progress stuff with it.
That range finder is a hollow one my buddy had that did the fiberglass work for me, it was an extra he had laying around, so he sent it over to me with the kit so I could do the lights! Still have the solid one here, trying to figure out some little project I can do with it, really nice piece, no way I could toss it!

The thing I love about the Dented Helmet, is that everyone is so supportive, enthusiastic, and positive. Thanks guys. You all deserve a pat on the back...Go ahead, do it, no one's watching. :)

Re: New guy and his new helmet! (work in progress)

Thanks again guys! Really makes me think I did something right! ;)
Thanks TK4130, I knew there was an Alberta garrison, but didn't know the link, I'll have a look for sure! Not making a full Fett suit right now, in the future I'll probably break down and do one though. Do have a Scout Troop in the works, the full KS kit, so might feel the need to troop when that's done!

Have one update here, got my T visor in today, the ebay one for $10, and it is pretty nice. Really nice shading, gives the perfect ESB shadow look. Not too much needed for modification and fitting depending on the helmet too, more personal preference for sizing. I'd definitely recomend it.
got some new shots of the helmet too! Really does make a differnce looks wise, makes it seem real.

Had to get some shots of it being worn too finally, and had a little moment I'm sure you guys are familiar with! HELL YEAH!!! I'M FREAKIN WEARIN FREAKIN BOBA FETT'S FREAKIN HELMET!!! YEAHHHHH!!!!!

:lol Yep ... I know the feeling. However, if you liked that moment, then you have to make the whole suit. There is nothing like walking around feeling like the most lethal bounty hunter in the Galaxy. The first time I put the suit on in public, was amazing. My favorite comment so far has been … “Hey Boba Fett, I love being you in Battlefront II.” 8) Good times.
